[@emilyfursman]

you’re so brave and strong for doing this syd, all of your family are! proud of you always

[@SydneyMayCrouch]

thank you so much xxx

[@tiamonkman409]

As someone who has a lost a close family member to drug addiction I understand how hard this would of been for you and your family, so glad you are raising awareness xx

[@charlieellissa5]

From a daughter of a drug addict who lost their own mother at 15, this helps on a different kind of level knowing other people have been through this❤️

[@JaydePierce]

Proud of this series babe! It’s only just started and it’s amazing. You’re doing an amazing thing ❤️❤️❤️

[@aroberts4065]

As a secondary school teacher I would love to show this series to our year 10&11’s . Raising awareness in a sensitive, honest and raw way. Fantastic and so inspiring. Well done 💕

[@SydneyMayCrouch]

I would absolutely love for this to happen (of course if schools would allow it) - the story of drugs & addiction shouldn't be hidden from children, we should be educating the younger generations. I knew about drugs from such a young age - obviously due to my up bringing but its moulded the choices I make every day growing up. I highly recommend getting in touch with Paul Hannaford who features in this documentary (info in bio of video) his job is to go to schools and educate youngsters/ tell his story. x

[@pennylewis5235]

Paul Hannaford came to my secondary school when I was in year 10/11 nearly 10 years ago now and I can still remember to this day his captivating, chilling story. It hit home to so many of us in the room that day - highly recommend. X

[@gracewalshbeauty3116]

Wow syd, I don’t often comment on videos etc but this one has really hit me and given me the chills. Cannot wait to watch the rest of the series and all the hard work you have put into it! An amazing light you’re shining on the subject and bringing awareness xxx

[@lizzieyoung1132]

Must’ve been so raw for you, so proud that you are raising awareness. Your Mum, your Nan and your family will be so incredibly proud of you ❤️

[@emilynutt8238]

I am a daughter of a mother who overdosed when I was 14 years old. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I can’t wait for the next episodes, this really puts my mother’s life in perspective and shows others how drug addicts life’s are like and how they are affected, like my mothers. I watched how she lived and I feel so deeply saddened by every person who has had or are experiencing it. I have never really spoken to anyone about the raw details of it all. Sydney you make me want to talk about my story too. One thing for sure is I wish I was and my family was enough for her to get help. I wish I could of helped her. Thank you Sydney for sharing your story.

I hope your aim is achieved in preventing others from going down this route, you and your family and friends deserve all the praise in the making of this documentary series, not only is it incredibly brave on all sides but its also a topic with a lot of emotions from wider public and often of a negative stance, being able to show things from the family side is a strong message to all. Congratulations on having the strength to do so, your mum would be proud

[@xCiaraLouisexx]

I remember when Syd did her first video about her mum on the Syd and Ell channel - this has been beautifully shot and thank you so much to your friends and family for being involved ☺️

[@kauanaalves8665]

This must have been so hard to film, but you’ve done amazingly. We’re all proud of you! Can’t wait for part 2 x

[@sairachadha9873]

You are honestly incredible for bringing this to life , it really is amazing to see, i can't wait to watch and support you and i am so so proud of you and your family for doing this and i honestly know it will make a difference to peoples lives, love you so so much always

[@BeccaLouise67]

So beautifully created. I know what it’s like to lose a mum. I lost mine almost 8 years ago in March to cancer. My mum was always strong and never complained about anything. To anyone who is reading this that’s lost a loved one, I’m sorry. You are so strong and will do your loved ones proud. Things do get better I promise, I can’t say you will ever get over it but time is a healer. I was 12 when she died and still to this day still don’t quite believe that she’s gone. Sometimes I don’t remember certain parts of her and it makes me sad but I just have to remember the good things about her like her smile and her belly laugh and her warm heart. This video is so sad but just an amazing production x

[@SydneyMayCrouch]

Hi Becca - I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mum is with you every day - a guardian angel always protecting you xx

As an adult child of an addict this really hammers home. Incredible what you are doing Syd, raising awareness and digging deep into your childhood. I will definitely be watching the rest! Your mum would be so unbelievably proud of you x

This is so powerful thank you for sharing this story with all of us! I lost my dad when I was 15 and he was trying to recover from a near 30 year drug addiction to heroin also my heart breaks for your family and its so special you are sharing this I went to a very posh school so no one really related to me with regards to my dad's addiction and then ultimately his death 💔 thank you so much for being so brave and sharing this x

[@kayleyoneill4267]

This is so close to my heart, I lost my dad in 2016 and he had a long history of a drug and alcohol addiction for 25 years. It really did affect my childhood just like I can imagine it affects any child. So inspiring for this to be openly spoken about as I haven’t come across this on KZbin before 💖

[@shannonheadd9064]

Just started this documentary Sydney and your strength is unimaginable filming this, you and your mum look so alike! Your mum will always be looking down on you in life especially when your bringing your child into the world

[@ericahourigan2747]

Amazingly done so far. Should feel proud ❤️

[@lx9414]

I’ve been struggling with my mental health recently due to my mums battle with addiction and mental health which has caused her to not be present in my life since I was about 2/3. I usually suppress the emotions so when I do think about it it really hits me hard. Just knowing there’s people that understand the devastation that addiction causes and I’m not alone brings me some form of comfort. You are incredible and I’m so thankful for this series. Your mum is so so proud of you💗

[@sasac2875]

We are lucky enough to still have him here with us today after numerous close calls but I know others aren’t so lucky and it breaks my heart 🥺 I can’t imagine how awful this must have been for you and your family.

Wow... What a fantastic documentary. I also grew up in the 80s / 90 s and know first hand what it is like to loose 2 loved ones to drug Abuse.There definitely needs to be more awareness on this and also alcohol addiction as I honestly believe that this has and still is effecting more and more people today.Its not just the person it effects it does tare family s apart which is so sad because it was always swept under the carpet back then and if we had more people like you and you family talking about it maybe it wouldn't have effected as many people as it did and that we would of understood how bad drugs really are. You should be so proud of yourself.im sure your mum will be.ever single person in this documentary are fantastic for talking about this and the way it has been made is amazing. I will definitely be letting people know about this so it reaches as many people! Massive thumbs up Hun xxx, 😘
